Our project this term has been to do an electric conversion to a MAX IV that our school has acquired. Seeing your blog and your expertise has been really helpful thus far in our process. I would love to be able to set up a dialogue and communication with you, if you are willing. <br /><br />If you have any questions, it would be great if you could contact my teacher: Brendan Creagh at Bcreagh@deerfield.edu<br /><br />Thanks.<br />Look forward to talking with you,<br />Reid ShillingReid Shillinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607889309321650199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964879210946683855.post-37033656233022321972014-02-09T09:37:28.248-05:002014-02-09T09:37:28.248-05:00I used the thin epoxy system from these guys http:...I used the thin epoxy system from these guys http://www.shopmaninc.com/epoxy.html with a medium hardener to allow enough working time. Cleaned the surface well and roughed it up with 24 grit, laid down some 8.5 ounce biaxial or twill fiberglass cloth, <br />http://www.shopmaninc.com/cloth.html#eglass<br /> and wet it all out. One thing I&#39;d do differently here is when it was almost hardened up I&#39;d spread on another layer of just resin to better protect the cloth from abrasion. <br />For the EV conversion I&#39;d use lithium prismatics instead of the Odyssey AGM&#39;s. Price is about the same now and the lithium will last longer, weigh less, and can be more deeply discharged so you&#39;ll get more actual run time for similarly rated batteries. The Odysseys were rated at 69 amp hours but 60 amp hour lithiums would give more usable capacity. I&#39;d probably use CALB cells. If looking for more speed you might want to run 72 Volts instead of 48, or gear it differently if you don&#39;t need as much low end power. I might also look at an AC system from HPEVS, though cost would be higher.<br />http://hpevs.com/<br />A used series DC forklift motor in good shape and an Alltrax DC controller is probably the least expensive way, and it worked out fine for me.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01351893617814995335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964879210946683855.post-30525951197225971712014-02-09T02:02:43.139-05:002014-02-09T02:02:43.139-05:00John, I have been following your project on both t...John, I have been following your project on both this blog and 6X6<br />world, Very cool. I am restoring a Attex and am planning on copying your fiberglass job. Can you tell me what product you used and how much it took ?. I have a second attex an terrain tamer. it has the Baker Hill 5000 trans. I am thinking about de-iceing it and electrifying it. I will let you know how it procedes. Is there anything you would do differently now knowing what you know now ?
